SYDNEY H. CARE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO LEO SOHLESINGER 8t (30., OF SAME PLACE.

SPECIFICATION formin To all whom it may concern TOY LOCOMOTIVE.

g part of Letters Patent No. 273,347, dated. March 6, 1883. Application filed January 22, 1883. (No model.)

Beit known that I, SYDNEY HERBERT CARR, of the city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Toy Locomotives,

5 of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to combine with a toy locomotive a gongbelha hammer for striking the same, and a connection to the shaft of the wheels for moving the hammer.

Toys have been made with wheels and with bells and hammers for striking the same; but a fixed bell has not been combined with a toy locomotive and with means for actuating the hammer, such as'I make use of.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation partially in section. Fig. 2

is an inverted plan,

and Fig.3 represents the hammer as moved by the axle of the front wheels.

The front wheels to are upon the axle b, and the rear or imitation driving-wheels, c, are

upon the axle d.

The imitation boiler e, cylindersf, smokestack g, cab h, and platform 1' are usually made of sheet metal, and these parts have been painted or ornamented, and they are to be of an 5 desired character.

The gong-bell l is fastened at the center to the boiler, either above the same, as in Fig. 1,

or below it, as in Fig. 3, an

vibrated by the shaft of one of the pairs of wheels.

(1 the hammer n is The hammer n (shown in Figs. 1 and 2) is upon a spring stem or handle, 0, that is pivoted at the wire 1', and the springs projects the hammer against the bell.

The crank fv upon the axle d draws hack the hammer n as the toy locomotive is drawn along, said crank-acting upon the bent end or t handle 0.

ail of the hammer- In Fig. 3 the hammern is jointed to an arm, 40 u, upon the front axle, b,-and the same swings around and strikes uponthe bell near its edge, the centrifugal action projecting the hammer sufficiently far to cause it to strike said bell.

I am aware that a bell has been placed upon 45 the platform of a toy in which there is a moving figure, and that the arms or trunk of such toy figure have been moved, and that the hell has been struck by a hammer or clappers moved by the rotation of the wheels as the toy 0 is drawn along. In my toy there is not any figure, and the bell isa fixture upon the boiler portion.

I claim as myinvention' 1. The combination, withthe toy locomotive, 5 5 of a bell fixed to the boiler portion, a hammer to strike the same, and mechanism, substantially as specified, between the hammer andone of the axles of such toy locomotive, to give motion to the hammer, as set forth. 6o
